Man great forum ive been reading and taking in all this info and its helped so much understanding my problem. Ive been on oxy for 12 years anywhere from 60 to 160 mgs at my worst. Ive also chased oxy with xanex for the the last 6 years .Last week i went to see a doc about this problem and he put me on 8mg 2x per day . I started slow and never got higher then 12 mg a day. I want off this stuff like yesterday. So i went from 12 to 8 to 6 and today i only took 4 mg and i feel ok . I plan to go down to 1then jump .All this within 3 weeks .Just wondering if anyone has tried anything like this as far as going from opiate addiction to suboxone and off completly within a month. I know its probably not the best route for long term sobriety. Im not really addressing the issue as to why i seek drugs but i dont want to be on suboxone for any long period of time .i actually hate the way it makes me feel i just dont want to be sick .im truly done with pills in general . So basically my question is will it be easier to jump off only 3 weeks on them as opposed to staying on subs for 3 months or more ? Thanks to everyone here all you folks are very kind and generous for sharing your stories and advice .ive never seen a forum like this where everyone is truly kind and just want to help other people.its very refreshing to see people helping one another i found allot of inspiration here thanks again !
